9.1 Responsibility for Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Responsibility for quality assurance and quality control of Drug Substance shall be allocated between Client and LONZA as set forth in the Quality Agreement and in LONZA standard operating procedures.

ARTICLE 10

NON-CONFORMANCE

10.1 Notice of Nonconformity. LONZA shall complete Quality Assurance Release and shall deliver to Client the necessary Batch Disposition Documentation and Clinical Batch Sample. Within forty-five (45) days following Quality Assurance Release and Client’s receipt of such Batch Disposition Documentation and Clinical Batch Sample, Client shall determine by review of such Batch Disposition Documentation and Clinical Batch Sample whether or not the given Clinical Batch conforms to the warranties set forth in Section 14.2.1; provided that LONZA provides timely answers to information requests and resolution of issues arising from Client’s review of such Batch Disposition Documentation and Clinical Batch Sample.

Such written notice shall specify the manner in which the Clinical Batch Sample fails to conform to the warranties set forth in Section 14.2.1. If Client does not submit written notice of rejection within such forty-five (45) day period such Clinical Batch will be deemed to be a Conforming Drug Substance and accepted by Client. In the event that Client desires to accept such Clinical Batch prior to the end of the forty-five (45) day period Client will fax written notice of such acceptance to LONZA’s Project Manager.

10.2 No LONZA Liability. If following the receipt of a notice from Client pursuant to Section 10.1, it is determined by agreement of the Parties (or in the absence of such agreement, by a qualified and independent arbitrator selected jointly by LONZA and Client) that either (i) the Clinical Batch is Conforming Drug Substance, or (ii) there is a nonconformity with respect to such Clinical Batch but the nonconformity was not caused by LONZA’s breach of the warranties set forth in Section 14.2.1, then LONZA shall have no liability to Client with respect to such Clinical Batch, and Client shall pay for such Clinical Batch and for the fees associated with any dispute regarding the Clinical Batch, and LONZA and Client will thereupon jointly explore opportunities for the conduct of additional processing activities by LONZA to permit Quality Assurance Release of the Clinical Batch. Any such additional processing activities agreed to by the Parties and the associated fees shall be set forth in a Change Order entered into under Section 3.4.

10.3 LONZA Liability for Non-Conforming Drug Substance; Replacement. If following the receipt of a notice from Client pursuant to Section 10.1, it is determined by agreement of the Parties (or in the absence of such agreement, a qualified and independent arbitrator selected jointly by LONZA and Client) that such Clinical Batch is Non-Conforming Drug Substance and such non-conformance was caused by LONZA’s breach of the warranties set forth in Section 14.2.1, then LONZA shall, at Client’s sole option, either (i) within sixty (60) days following a determination under this Section 10.3, commence a Clinical Run to replace such Non-Conforming Drug Substance with Conforming Drug Substance (the “Replacement Drug Substance”) at no additional cost to Client (including, without limitation, the costs of Raw Materials, Resins, Consumables and Wearables described in Section 4.5.1) or (ii) refund the purchase price for such Non-Conforming Drug Substance and any expenses associated therewith. Delivery of Replacement Drug Substance shall be at no additional charge to Client. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the remedies set forth in this Section 10.3 shall be Client’s sole remedies with respect to Non-Conforming Drug Substance, and in furtherance thereof Client waives all other remedies at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not restrict Client’s right to indemnification as specifically set forth herein.

10.4 Cooperation in Investigations; Disposition of Non-Conforming Drug Substance. Each Party shall act in good faith and shall cooperate with the other Party, with any qualified independent Third-Party laboratory in connection with an investigation, and with the arbitrator, as to the existence of or source of nonconformity with respect to a Clinical Batch supplied under this Agreement. In testing the Clinical Batch, any independent Third-Party laboratory shall use analytical testing methods as agreed upon by the Parties. LONZA shall dispose of any Non-Conforming Drug Substance in accordance with all relevant laws, rules and regulations with respect to such disposal, at LONZA’s cost if LONZA was liable for the nonconformity in accordance with Section 10.3 and at Client’s cost if LONZA was not liable for the nonconformity in accordance with Section 10.2.

The decision to conduct and the right to control a Recall will be solely that of Client, following consultation with LONZA. Client shall (i) bear the cost of and be responsible for conducting or responding to Recalls of Drug Substance or Product, (ii) remain obligated to pay LONZA in accordance with this Agreement for any Drug Substance used to make such Recalled Product, and (iii) reimburse LONZA for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Recall, if any.

The charge to the Client for any change will be a penalty fee of (i) for Suite 4, $[*], and (ii) for the Suites 1 and 2, $[*] per day for any delay from the original cGMP Suite Activation Date; provided that LONZA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill the applicable cGMP Suite occupancy period with a project for a third party. In the event that LONZA is able to fill such cGMP Suite occupancy period with a third party project that provides equal or greater compensation to LONZA than that due for the applicable cGMP production activities to be performed hereunder, no penalty fee shall be payable to LONZA. In the event that LONZA is able to fill such cGMP Suite occupancy period with a third party project that provides less compensation to LONZA than that due for the applicable cGMP production activities to be performed hereunder, the penalty fee payable to LONZA shall be the lesser of the fee set forth in this Section 18.2 or the difference between the fees for the applicable cGMP production activities to be performed hereunder and the total fees payable in connection with the third party project.

18.3 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

18.3.1 Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the other Party, for any material breach of this Agreement by the other Party, if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the breaching Party receives written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party; provided, however, that if such breach is not capable of being cured within such thirty-day period and the breaching Party has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such breach within such thirty-day period, except in the case of a payment default, the cure period shall be extended to 180 days, so long as the breaching Party is making diligent efforts to do so. Such termination shall be effective upon expiration of such cure period.

18.3.2 Force Majeure Termination. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, upon providing written notice thereof to the other Party, such termination to be effective thirty (30) days from the date of such notice if, as a result of a Force Majeure Event, either Party is unable fully to perform its obligations under this Agreement for any consecutive period of one hundred and eighty (180) days.

-26-

18.3.3 Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other Party, upon (a) the dissolution, termination of existence, liquidation or business failure of the other Party; (b) the appointment of a custodian or receiver for the other Party who has not been terminated or dismissed within ninety (90) days of such appointment; (c) the institution by the other Party of any proceeding under national, federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or the making by such Party of a composition or any assignment for the benefit of creditors under any national, federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other similar law affecting the rights of creditors generally, which proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing. All rights and licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code, licenses of rights of “intellectual property” as defined therein.

18.3.4 Failure to Establish the Manufacturing Process. This Agreement may be terminated in its entirety by either Party in the event that LONZA is unable to develop a Manufacturing Process in accordance with Project Plan, despite the use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so.

18.3.5 Cumulative Remedies. Any right to terminate this Agreement shall be in addition to and not in lieu of all other rights or remedies that the Party giving notice of termination may have at law or in equity or otherwise.

18.3.6 Termination for Convenience. Client may terminate this Agreement for no cause upon prior written notice to LONZA.

18.4 Consequences of Termination.

18.4.1 Payment of Amounts Due. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not exempt either Party from paying to the other Party any amounts owing to such Party at the time of such expiration or termination.

18.4.2 Fee for Cancellation. In the event Client terminates the Project or this Agreement prior to completion of the Project, other than a termination by Client pursuant to Section 18.3.1, 18.3.2, 18.3.3 or 18.3.4 of this Agreement, or if LONZA terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.3.1, Client shall promptly pay to LONZA a payment equal to the following (the “Termination Fee”):


Date of LONZA’s Receipt of Notice of Termination (in days) prior to cGMP Suite Activation Date (as specified in the Project Plan)		Charge as a Percentage of Total Production Fee (as specified in the Project Plan)
[*]		[*]
[*]		[*]

-27-

In the event of termination under this section, LONZA will use reasonable commercial efforts to secure a new project (which specifically excludes projects then identified by LONZA) for the cGMP manufacturing space, and for the duration for which, such space would have been occupied by Client (the “Replacement Project”). Should LONZA secure a Replacement Project prior to the Due Date (as defined below), the Termination Fee owed by Client to Lonza shall be reduced by an amount equal to [*] of the production fees associated with such Replacement Project (the “Replacement Project Offset”). The Termination Fee payable by Client shall be paid to LONZA within 30 days after the effective termination date of this Agreement or the Project (the “Due Date”). In the event that LONZA secures a Replacement Project after the Due Date but before the cGMP Suite Activation Date, Client shall receive a credit equal to the value of Replacement Project Offset which, at Client’s election, can be issued either in the form of a refund or applied towards a future project between the Parties.

18.4.3 Termination of Accepted Orders and/orRuns. Any purchase order that has been accepted in writing by Lonza prior to the effective date of any termination hereunder and/or Runs that are in process as of the effective date of any termination hereunder shall not be cancelled without the mutual agreement of the Parties, and the Agreement shall continue to survive with respect to those accepted purchase orders and/or in-process Runs. Drug Substance that has been fully manufactured as of the date of such termination, but for which Quality Review and Approval has not been completed, shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the Agreement shall continue to survive with respect to such Drug Substance.

18.4.4 Raw Materials, Consumables and Resins. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement other than a termination by Client pursuant to Section 18.3.1, Client shall purchase from LONZA (to the extent not previously purchased), at LONZA’s Acquisition Cost, all remaining usable Raw Materials, Consumables and Resins acquired and paid for by LONZA for the manufacture of Drug Substance under this Agreement, provided however, that as of the date of receipt of the termination notice, LONZA shall place no further orders for Raw Materials, Consumables and Resins except as may be necessary for completion of any portion of LONZA’s services hereunder that are not immediately terminated.

18.4.5 Return of Materials and of Client Confidential Information; Transfer of Client Equipment. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, unless otherwise directed by Client, LONZA shall promptly at Client’s sole cost and expense (i) return or, at Client’s election, destroy, all quantities of the Cell Line, Master Cell Bank, and Working Cell Bank received by LONZA under this Agreement, (ii) return all Client Confidential Information to Client, except for a single copy and/or sample which may be retained for documentation purposes only and which shall remain subject to the obligations of nonuse and confidentiality set forth in this Agreement, (iii) deliver to Client all Reference Materials (except that LONZA shall have the right to keep a retain sample of each Reference Material) being held by LONZA, and (iv) deliver all remaining Raw Materials, Consumables and Resins purchased pursuant to Section 18.4.3. In addition, LONZA shall transfer all Client Equipment to Client, at Client’s sole cost

-28-

and expense, within sixty (60) days of expiration or termination of this Agreement. If any Client owned property (Client Equipment, Drug Substance, Raw Materials, etc.) remains at the LONZA Facility for a period longer than 90 days after expiration or termination of this Agreement, Client shall pay for such storage as Additional Services in accordance with the applicable Project Rates. Any deliveries made pursuant to Section 18.4 shall be made FCA the LONZA Facility.

18.4.6 Return of LONZA Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Client shall promptly return all LONZA Confidential Information to LONZA, except for a single copy which may be retained for documentation purposes only and which shall remain subject to the obligations of nonuse and confidentiality set forth in this Agreement.

18.4.7 Accrued Rights. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any right which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party and shall not relieve either Party of any obligation which has accrued prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, which obligations shall remain in full force and effect for the period provided therein or, if no period is provided therein, then such obligations shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely.

18.5 Surviving Rights. Article 1, Section, 4.7, Section 4.8 (only with respect to hazards that may exist or handling of materials which may take place after the termination date), Article 5 (only with respect to work in progress as of the termination date), Article 6 (only with respect to invoices unpaid as of the termination date or issued thereafter for work in progress as of the termination date), Article 10, Article 11, Article 12, Article 13, Section 14.2, Article 15, Article 16, Article 17, Section 18.4, this Section 18.5, and Article 20, and the rights and obligations contained therein, shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 19

FORCE MAJEURE

19.1 Effects of Force Majeure. No Party shall be in breach of this Agreement if there is any failure of performance under this Agreement (except for payment of any amounts due under this Agreement) occasioned by any reason beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party affected thereby, which such reasons may include, without limitation, an act of God, fire, flood, act of government or state, war, insurrection, acts of terrorism, embargo, sabotage, prevention from or hindrance in obtaining energy or other utilities, a shortage of Raw Materials, Resins, Consumables or other necessary components, labor disputes of whatever nature, or any other reason, in each case only where such is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party affected thereby (a “Force Majeure Event”). Such excuse shall continue as long as the Force Majeure Event continues. Upon cessation of such Force Majeure Event, the affected Party shall promptly resume performance under this Agreement as soon as it is commercially reasonable for the Party to do so.

19.2 Notice of Force Majeure. Each Party agrees to give the other Party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, the nature thereof, and the extent to which the affected Party will be unable to fully perform its obligations under this Agreement.

-29-

Each Party further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the Force Majeure Event as quickly as practicable (provided that in no event shall a Party be required to settle any labor dispute) and to give the other Party prompt written notice when it is again fully able to perform such obligations.

ARTICLE 20

MISCELLANEOUS

20.2 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the choice of law doctrine of such state.

20.3 Dispute Resolution. If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute, despite its good faith efforts, either Party may refer the dispute to the Chief Executive Officer (or other designee) of each Party. In the event that no agreement is reached by the Chief Executive Officers (or other designees) with respect to such dispute within thirty (30) days after its referral to them, either Party may pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity.

20.4 Headings. All headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

20.5 Exhibits. All exhibits or appendices referred to herein form an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by such reference.

20.6 Security Procedures. All Client personnel visiting or having access to the LONZA Facility shall agree in writing to abide by LONZA standard policies, operating procedures and security procedures as established by LONZA and communicated to Client.

20.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parties and the name of a Party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of its successors and assigns. LONZA may not assign its interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Client, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that LONZA may assign its interest under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Client, to any Affiliate of LONZA. Any permitted assignment of this Agreement by either Party will be conditioned upon such Party’s permitted assignee agreeing in writing to comply with all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Client seeks to assign this Agreement to a competitor of LONZA, such assignment shall not be permitted without, and shall require, LONZA’s prior written consent. For purposes of clarity, “competitor of LONZA” shall mean any party who is principally engaged in the business of contract manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals on behalf of third parties. In the event that LONZA does not consent to any such assignment, LONZA shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that the Parties shall first meet to discuss a mutually agreeable transition plan for the transfer of the Project to another party. For purposes of this Article 20.7, the terms “assign” and “assignment” shall include, without limitation, (i) the sale of 50% or more of the outstanding stock of Client to an Affiliate of Client or an unrelated entity or natural person, (ii) the sale or transfer or other assignment, of all or substantially all of the assets of Client or the line of business or Product to which this Agreement relates, and (iii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other form of business. Any purported assignment without a required consent shall be void. No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment.

-31-

20.8 Severability. If any part of this Agreement shall be found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law in any jurisdiction, such part shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole in any other jurisdiction. In addition, the part that is ineffective shall be reformed in a mutually agreeable manner so as to as nearly approximate the intent of the Parties as possible.

20.9 Independent Contractors. Each of the Parties is an independent contractor and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute the relationship of partners, joint venturers, nor of principal and agent between the Parties. Neither Party shall at any time enter into, incur, or hold itself out to Third Parties as having authority to enter into or incur, on behalf of the other Party, any commitment, expense, or liability whatsoever.

20.10 Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement whether by conduct or otherwise in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

20.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument. This Agreement shall be effective upon full execution by facsimile or original, and a facsimile signature shall be deemed to be and shall be as effective as an original signature.

20.12 No Solicitation of Employees. During the Term and for two (2) years thereafter, each of the Parties agrees not to seek to induce or solicit any employee of the other Party or its Affiliates to discontinue his or her employment with the other Party or such Affiliate in order to become an employee or an independent contractor of the soliciting Party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that neither Party shall be in violation of this Section as a result of making a general solicitation for employees or independent contractors. For the avoidance of doubt, the publication of an advertisement shall not constitute solicitation or inducement.

20.13 Entirety; Amendments. This Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto and referenced herein, and the Quality Agreement constitute the full understanding of the Parties and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement with respect to the specific subject matter hereof, and no terms, conditions, understandings or agreements purporting to modify or vary the terms thereof shall be binding unless hereafter made in a written instrument referencing this Agreement and signed by each of the Parties.

20.14 Preference. The terms of this Agreement shall prevail in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any exhibits or appendices.
